I know that they couldn't get the game exactly the same because of the DS's limitations, but couldn't they alter the game so it works on the DS? I know it wouldn't be even close to as good as it is on the PSP, but it would be a chance to give a great game to DS owning Castlevania fans. I would KILL to play that game! Plus, then, I could play Symphony of the Night finally!

I can't play online because my computer sucks. In fact, this is the last time I'll be posting for a while because we're sending it back to Dell. So, goodbye, Castlevania Dungeon Forums. I'll see you soon (if Dell doesn't lose our computer again! )

I personally would've liked it on the PS2, if to fix the blurring issues with the PSP. But I think it works out this way because the PSP lite has TV OUT anyway.

PSPs aren't that expensive.

PS2 would be great. Almost everyone besides Gimph has one. The thing is, it's last gen. So it will very likely be x360 or ps3. If that's the case, I'll wait till they are less expensive. Well... It'll be ages from now till 1999 comes, anyway.

Not likely. First off, DXC didn't sell so well for a CV game, and the video game business is all about money. They wouldn't port it to the DS.

Also, have you ever thought about what us PSP owners might feel? We don't get DoS OR PoR. OR OoE. I'll have to shell out some money for a DS come October. It's annoying both ways.

I don't have a PS2 either.

I need a PSP. How much do they generally sell for?

Whoever's planning on buying a ps2 might as well just save their money & buy ps3 instead. That's like someone buying a Gamecube to play Twilight Princess.

the only thing the n64 titles had was a linar gameplay and stayed true to the design of the classic castles, however i feel many of you were spoiled by eariler titles however i dont agree or disagree with iga's decisions, he has ideas i'm guessing but konami also may have the final say in any castlevania, since they have to "ok" the projects

also on DXC not selling well, i believe the fans wanted Rondo on a console, japan got it on the wii, did anyone else tho? and i got rid of my psp after sony's systems for me continuesly failed, the ps2 the laser just gave up, the psp same thing, at least i got rondo on the wii and sotn on the 360

and the psp's tv out is annoying it has to be a v2000 series, a slim, and has to conect to a tv that supports progressive scan and be widescreen to boot. thats just for games videos play fine with the s-video componet

I would rather see SNES level graphics as well.
For Megaman 9 it's different because the 8 bit megaman art style has aged better -in my opinion- than the 8-bit castlevania graphics. Even though they are not without their charm.

Ultimately I won't complain if we do get a new NES style instalment as long as the controls are better than they were back in the day.
(oh and NO cheap deaths by falling off of stairs at the beginning of a new screen, that's just criminal)

you sure? i heard the ps3 doesn't have the chips needed for native ps2 support to cut down on its costs and has to emulate it with software, which causes compatibility problems and random lock ups sometimes.

Very true. The NES Mega Man games still look surprisingly clean, especially compared to just about everything else on the console.
